When it comes to identity management intensive applications, it's hard to top Sharepoint. Whether you are signing in a portal, accessing a document or using a webpart for reaching out to external web services, your identity is going to be the factor that
drives it all.Vittorio went to visit Venky Veeraraghavan, Program Manager Lead in the Sharepoint team, to discuss how Sharepoint deals with identity challenges. Venky gives a fantastic explanation of how claims-based identity and
Windows Identity Foundation helped the Sharepoint team to deliver on the identity functionalities they needed without getting entangled in low level details such as protocol handling.Tune in!

SQL Server and SQL Analysis Services currently don't support Claims based Identity as an authentication method at this time.

For connecting to SQL (from Excel Services, for example), SP2010 will convert a claims token to a Windows token through the Claims-to-Windows Token Service. Note, this will only work when the user presented a Windows token at login. We cannot convert a arbitrary
SAML-Token into a Windows-token
